<p style="font-weight: 400;">On Wednesday night, a Palestinian terrorist opened fire on an Israeli bus, killing a young Israeli boy returning from a family celebration.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The terrorist, identified in news reports as Izz al-Din Maluh, reportedly turned himself in at a Palestinian Authority police station after a manhunt by Israeli forces. But the Palestinian police allegedly only <a href="https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/400628" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confiscated his weapon</a> and <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-december-12-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">did not arrest him</a>.</p>
<p>The terrorist&#8217;s bullets hit the bus 22 times at the El-Khader Junction in Gush Etzion on Route 60. Ten-year-old Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha from Beitar Illit was shot in the upper body and later evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital near Jerusalem, where he was pronounced dead after a few hours. Three other bus passengers were injured in the attack.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The security forces will, with God&#8217;s help, complete the manhunt and settle accounts with the human scum behind this terrible attack,” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote on X prior to the terrorist being caught. “We will also eradicate terror in Judea and Samaria with determination and aggression, just like Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria.“</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Israeli President Isaac Herzog wrote, “The boy Yehoshua Aharon Tovia Simcha the 14th, a 10-year-old boy, returned with his family from a family celebration and was murdered in an attack by a criminal last night in Gush Etzion. I wish to console and hug his family and friends at a very painful and sad moment for the people of Israel. &#8230; I trust the security forces to bring about the capture of the despicable terrorist.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">The IDF announced: &#8220;After a joint manhunt by IDF, police and Shin Bet forces, which included a military encirclement of Bethlehem and the application of military pressure in the area, the terrorist who carried out the shooting attack in the area of the Al-Hader Junction in the Etzion Brigade turned himself in to the security forces.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Violence in the West Bank has surged, with Route 60 becoming a frequent target for attacks,” TheMediaLine <a href="https://themedialine.org/headlines/boy-12-seriously-injured-in-west-bank-shooting-targeting-bus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Palestinian terrorists have killed numerous Jews as they have traveled on Route 60. In February 2023, two Israeli brothers, Hallel Yaniv, 21, and Yagel Yaniv, 19, were <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/two-israelis-shot-dead-in-west-bank-suspected-terror-attack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">murdered</a> when a Palestinian terrorist opened fire from close range at them on the Route 60 highway. In August 2023, Batsheva Nigri, a mother of three, was shot to death in a terrorist attack on Route 60 near Hebron while her daughter was in the car. Hamas <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-66570478" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised</a> the murder, calling it a “natural response.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">At Nigri’s funeral, her brother <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/you-were-all-light-funeral-held-for-israeli-woman-killed-in-hebron-terror-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, “You were also amazing to the children in all the kindergartens where you worked — hundreds of children learned what Judaism is from you. I refuse to accept what the mind already knows. To me you were always the eldest sister, I chose you to be my sister every day.”</p>
